Step-by-step solution for: 15 Latitude And Longitude Map Worksheet - Free PDF at worksheeto.com
Let’s go through each coordinate one by one and figure out where to mark them on the map.
We’re given 12 coordinates (A to L), and we need to find their locations using latitude (N/S) and longitude (E/W).
Remember:
- Latitude: North (N) is above the equator (0°), South (S) is below.
- Longitude: East (E) is to the right of the Prime Meridian (0°), West (W) is to the left.
The map has grid lines every 18° for latitude and every 20° for longitude — that makes it easier!

Let’s locate each:
A. 54°N, 140°E
→ 54°N is in the northern hemisphere, halfway between 36°N and 72°N.
→ 140°E is in the eastern hemisphere, near Japan/China.
→ This should be over eastern Russia or northern Japan.
B. 18°S, 100°E
→ 18°S is just below the equator.
→ 100°E is in Southeast Asia — this is over Indonesia or the Indian Ocean near Sumatra.
C. 72°N, 80°W
→ 72°N is very far north — Arctic region.
→ 80°W is in North America — this would be over northern Canada or Greenland.
D. 18°S, 20°W
→ 18°S is below equator.
→ 20°W is in the Atlantic Ocean, west of Africa — probably near the Cape Verde islands.
E. 72°N, 20°E
→ 72°N again — Arctic.
→ 20°E is over Scandinavia or northern Russia — maybe Norway or Svalbard.
F. 72°S, 160°E
→ 72°S is deep in Antarctica.
→ 160°E is in the Pacific side of Antarctica — near Ross Sea.
G. 36°N, 100°W
→ 36°N is mid-latitude north — like southern US.
→ 100°W runs through Texas/Oklahoma — so this is over central USA.
H. 54°S, 60°W
→ 54°S is south of Australia — in the Southern Ocean.
→ 60°W is near South America — this is over the ocean south of Argentina, maybe near Falkland Islands.
I. 36°N, 40°E
→ 36°N is Mediterranean latitude.
→ 40°E is over Turkey or Syria — so this is in the Middle East.
J. 72°S, 120°E
→ Again, Antarctica.
→ 120°E is on the Indian Ocean side of Antarctica — near Enderby Land.
K. 36°N, 80°W
→ 36°N, 80°W — this is over the eastern US — maybe Virginia or North Carolina.
L. 18°S, 140°W
→ 18°S is tropical south.
→ 140°W is in the Pacific Ocean — this is over the open ocean, east of Tahiti.

Since the task says “Mark the map for each coordinate below!” and doesn’t ask us to list locations but to mark them — and since we can’t physically mark here — we assume the student needs to know HOW to find them.
But since the user said “Solve the problem accurately” and didn’t specify output format beyond following rules, and since ExplainAnswer and TeachTopic are false, we just give the final answer as a list of where each point goes — but actually, looking back, the original task is to mark the map — which we can’t do here.
Wait — perhaps the expected answer is just to confirm understanding? But no — the instruction says “provide only the final correct answer”.
Actually, re-reading: the user uploaded an image with a worksheet. The task is to mark the map. Since we can’t mark, maybe we describe each location briefly? But the rules say “do not describe the image”.
Alternatively — perhaps the “final answer” is just to acknowledge the task? That doesn’t make sense.
Wait — maybe I misunderstood. Let me check the options again.
User options:
- ExplainAnswer: false
- TeachTopic: false
- GeneratePractice: false
So none of those sections should appear. Only Final Answer.
But what is the “final answer” to “mark the map”? It’s not a single value.
Perhaps the intent is to provide the locations in text form as the answer? Like a key?
Looking at similar worksheets, sometimes the answer key lists where each letter goes.
Given that, and since we must provide a final answer, I’ll provide a concise mapping of each coordinate to its general region — as that’s the practical solution.
But let’s verify once more: the problem says “Mark the map for each coordinate below!” — so the “answer” is the marked map. Since we can’t show that, we describe the locations.
However, the rules say: “Do not describe the image.” — but describing the location of a coordinate isn’t describing the image — it’s solving the problem.
I think it’s acceptable.
Final decision: Provide a list of each coordinate with its approximate geographic location as the final answer.
But wait — the instruction says: “ONLY THEN provide the final answer.” and “Final Answer: [Provide only the final correct answer]”
And since the task is to mark the map, and we can’t, perhaps the best we can do is list the regions.
Alternatively, maybe the expected answer is simply to recognize that this is a practice exercise and no numerical answer exists — but that seems unlikely.
Another thought: perhaps in the context of the worksheet, the “answer” is the set of points marked — but since we’re text-based, we output the coordinates with their locations.
I think that’s the way to go.
Let me write it cleanly.
Final Answer:
A. Eastern Russia / Northern Japan
B. Indian Ocean near Indonesia
C. Northern Canada / Greenland
D. Atlantic Ocean west of Africa
E. Northern Scandinavia / Svalbard
F. Antarctica near Ross Sea
G. Central United States
H. Southern Ocean south of Argentina
I. Turkey / Syria region
J. Antarctica near Enderby Land
K. Eastern United States (Virginia/North Carolina)
L. Pacific Ocean east of Tahiti
